How it Works

Chemical Peeling

Pigmentation Treatment for melasma includes method called chemical peeling. The process involves chemical application coat to the face to eliminate spoiled outer layers and dead skin. The new skin resurfaces as wrinkles, rough and discoloured skin disappear.

Intense Plused Light (IPL) also known as Photo rejuvenation is another form of pigmentation treatment. The procedure is achieved by Palomar Pulsed Light Systems. The pulsed lights are a lot like lasers however they have larger beams with wider coverage, making them ideal for treatment.

During photo rejuvenation, high pulses of filtered light are targeted on to the skin and captured by the melanin for pigmented lesions & by blood for vascular lesions. The photo rejuvenation light pulse is captured by the pigment in the lesion, causing it to break up by the heat in the light. The lesion turns dark and crusty, eventually shedding from the skin after roughly 10 days.

Fractional Laser 1540 nm

Fractional laser is microblative laser that transmits microscopic laser beams, penetrating deeply into the layers of the dermis which have deep pigmentation. These beams eliminate microscopic particles of pigmentation. The pigmented portion gets de pixeled at first, eventually clearing most of pigmentation.

Most Popular FAQs

It is normal to experience mild redness which may last for some hours or days.

Several pigmentation treatments exist to eliminate facial and body pigmentation. Depending on the intensity of pigmentation treatment may be chosen. It will vary in each patient depending on the skin concern.
